Washed-Up Rock n’ Roller Epicly Falls to the Ground and Endures a Head Injury, Then Continues to Play His Guitar to an Unapproving Audience

The town troubadour from Gilmore Girls has officially taken a turn for the worst. I guess he sang one too many songs about growing up as an awkward, heartbreaking disaster duo and took to the streets for a drink…. Or ten.

Geneva, Switzerland is known for luxury, affluence, and most importantly, MONEY. When we think of Geneva, we certainly don’t think of stumbling drunks or street performers– that’s reserved mainly for other European countries like the UK or France.

However, this fateful spring morning caught one music man, and the terrasse full of worried onlookers, by surprise, giving the typical UK drunken man a run for his money.

Rock and roll started it, heavy metal finished it

The Rock n’ Roll world is a cruel mistress, often seducing young musicians into thinking their life will be a glorious and fantastical movie, full of debauchery, fame, and riches. Oftentimes that is not the case, forcing musicians to the streets to get their performance addictions satisfied.

In this case, it appears that this rocker was imbibing on more than just the love of the crowds and a hopeful tune at his fingertips.

As a cafe full of people watched, this man struts down the vacant morning streets, strumming a few haphazard notes and jauntily making his way down the street. Unbeknownst to him, there was a sturdy metal sign in his path, waiting to trip him up and ruin his chipper spirit. WHO PUT THAT SIGN THERE.

He caught sight of the sign just in time and, with a bit of panache and a little too much flare, swung his leg up to high-kick the bastard on his way by. That was our rocker-friend’s first mistake. Caught by surprise and maybe a little off kilter to begin with, the rocker eats it and falls to the ground, protecting his guitar from the incoming concrete by taking the heat with his back, head, and neck. Ouch.

This metal lord was shaken, but unphased, rolling to his side and stumbling to stand. He won’t let this sign, or society, bring down his spirits. Rock and roll lives to shred another day! Besides, the comment section puns are just too good. 

In the end, we all just hope that our town troubadour made it home safely to an alka seltzer, some aspirin, and a good nap.
